thoft, Your amp will power the larger Thiel's but will run out of gas in a larger room especially if your wanting that bass slam.  A used Krell FPB will deliver what your looking for.  I did a tour of the Thiel factory years ago when Sherri and ...

thoft, Thiel's are not know to be shy in the bass department. If you are limited to the larger room you will need up the Thiel line to the bigger brothers.  With them you will need to invest in amps worthy of the load they will carry to drive th...

Tom, Now that you have the CS7.2 I’m on board with xover upgrades, especially with an outboard if you find the time or desire to take on such an endeavor. Out of the entire Thiel line up this is my go to speaker. Yours in Birdseye maple must lo... 
One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer?
lewm, It's not. Just stating the physical characteristic of Panzerholz. That characteristic produces very clean and crisp parts as oppossed to say plywood or MDF.  I would imagine that the hardness would contribute to the speed at which mechanic...

When routing Panzerholz carbine tooling is necessary. Not carbine tipped. It machines incredible well but you will go through some tooling as it is tough on. tooling. Yes slowing Rpm down and using a low flute tool, so it does not gum up, helps t...

In motorsports engineers do not like to try other things if what they have works.  We create our own densified wood to our specs. We consolidate it at a higher psi and are hold times are longer.  This makes it even more stiff and rigid.

I must admit I have not heard the Panzerholz warps. Thinner thicknesses can bow but I've never seen it warp.  We use it for professional motorsports and never had a part returned because it warp. We have been using densified wood for a few decade...

halifax, A consideration worth noting is the volume of your listening room. If it's on the smaller side then by default you will rule out the CS6 as they need a little elbow room to hear their potential.  Another consideration are amps. You ment...

It depends on the level of committment you are willing to invest.  CS 2.4 are easier to set up and less finicky with electronics. Not that they dont benefit from demoing numerous amps and front end,  just not as critical as CS6. Top to bottom it...

Jafant,   I have white CS 2.7 (had probable the only two pair), CS 2.3, CS2.4SE, CS 6, CS 7.2.

jafant, I sold a pair of CS 2.7 but I have the exact same pair in a house in Florida. I've deided to invest in CS 7.2 as my listening room here in NC is 35'x60'x12' ceilings so the big Thiels will work better in that space.  Tom, I woulkd be o...

If a CS 7.3 cannot come to fruition how about visiting a CS 7.2 crossover to upgrade and do external crossovers with all new internal wiring?   
Preamp Deal of the Century
deutscherhififan,   I inspected in upon receiving it and everything looked fine. I closed the box and have not been back to it. I may take it out this weekend to take photos.

I retrieved that photo from Mick's blog. I have one new in the box (line stage) but have noi had time to pull it out to set it up or I would have taken a photo of mine.
